22nd November 2008 - Roaming Robots - Maidstone Leisure Cent

I would like to say, on behalf of everyone who attended the event in the audience that it was very well done and well-presented (with the exception of Angelas dodgy microphone) and well done to everyone who fought that say - to Dantomkia, Iron-Awe, Terrorhurtz and Ripper, for all doing so well in the heavies and a big well done to Ripper Evo, and also to Aftershock (the rest of the audience was booing, but I was cheering :proud:)
The new arena looks good, and the re-entering rule works well.
A HUGE thanks to Leo Van Miert for allowing me to have a tour of the pits, and show off Wedgie and Obsidian to me.

Well done to the winners, comisserations to the losers, and good luck for next year :wink:

Well done Jonno and Ripper!
All the best everyone for 2009!

What was the tournament structure like? Well done winners!

was a good event, shame envy kept cutting out, it also turned of to the right quite alot on its own shane- i tryed ajusting the trims when i armed it up to help but it didnt make much difference. ah well.

well done jonno :)

Little john- you left your award in my car, ill drop it around at some point over the christmas hols

Well done Jonno, all the work paid off not only for Ripper but also for the quality of the shows, which has been excellent by all accounts :)

I have to also say many thanks to Shane for relaying the commentary of the start of the event second hand to me over MSN while I got half pictures on a dodgy webcam connection...all rather surreal but fun, shame Envy and Thor didnt do as well as was hoped but 2009 will be the year guys :)

btw- forgot to mension, thanks to jenny and geoff for fixing my hand lol. apreciated it. it was still bleeding thismorning lol

had a breakthrough this morning......the robot works fine when the flipper is up ...close the flipper and the cutting out starts so we know know its an interference problem. again sorry dave wish envy was ok for you.

Lewis, with there being 12 heavyweights the tournament structure was probably like this

Round 1
robot vs robot
robot vs robot
robot vs robot
robot vs robot
robot vs robot
robot vs robot

Quarter-Finals
robot vs robot
robot vs robot
robot vs robot

Losers melee
robot vs robot vs robot

Semi-Finals
robot vs robot
robot vs robot

Play-Off
robot vs robot

Final
robot vs robot

For the featherweights, I think they were devided into 2 semi-final battles and the winners of both of them went into a final

It wasnt - it went something like this:

Round 1
robot vs. robot
robot vs. robot
robot vs. robot
robot vs. robot
robot vs. robot
robot vs. robot

Losers Melle:
robot vs. robot. vs. robot vs. robot vs. robot (2 go through)

Quarter-Finals
robot vs. robot
robot vs. robot
robot vs. robot
robot vs. robot

Semi-Finals
robot vs. robot
robot vs. robot

There wasnt a play-off for some reason.

Final
robot vs. robot

Thanks, I think the one you said Liam was the one they used in 2005?
